A different kind of Monday – waited for a package – yeah! which came – yeah! and the new pen was beautiful – yeah! and the new ink was good – yeah! but the nib size was wrong and I didn’t realize it right was wrong – boo!
On the other hand, it was an interesting experience to try the BIGGEST nib this company makes when I was expecting an Extra Fine nib and the company I bought it from was fabulous when I chatted them up about it. So it’s on its way back and hopefully soon I’ll have the right size one.
Didn’t do much else today really except go to the post office to start the pen’s return trip. Why then am I so hungry and why did I think of this poem when I started to think about writing a day four poem? I don’t know but once I’d started down that road there was no turning back. (The NaPoWriMo prompt was “Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem . . . in the form of a poetry prompt.”
It’s not often I can dip my toe into a prompt so here it is:
this is just to say
your poetic prompt:
to explore a
rash of crimes
in your localityand if any
should involve
a theft of fruits
left to chilloffer some
forgiveness
and empathy —
they were so sweet

I collect fountain pens.
Yours are nice, but a broad nib… Noop.
Love your poem.
Thanks for visiting! Well the whole story is that I ordered an extra fine nib and got a zoom which is the biggest they make I think. It was a gusher! Sailor EF is supposed to be finer than other brands so stay tuned!
